Dinner at Tra Vigne in St. Helena
I’ve been going to Tra Vigne with my family for probably 20 years now but this meal was the best one we’ve ever had there.

Butternut Squash Soup
Lunch at Farmstead in St. Helena
Farmstead is a relatively new restaurant in St. Helena right across from Taylor’s Refresher in a huge old barn next to a nursery. Whew. It’s a pretty cool spot and the food was hearty and tasty. Don’t plan on doing much of anything afterwards — all you’ll want to do is lay down and enjoy the feeling of being stuffed.
Crazy Fish Snack – Kinta and Crispy Rice
Crazy Fish is one of my favorite sushi spots on earth. Don’t go here expecting traditional sushi because you will NOT get it. Here, they’re all about giant, crispy, spicy, sweet, tangy and delicious rolls. You have to try the Kinta, filled with spicy tuna, it’s they’re most popular roll.
Square One Dining for Brunch
It was my first time at Square One Dining on Fountain in Hollywood right across from the main Scientology Center. I heard they had thick, juicy bacon. The rumors are true, except it’s more just huge delicious chunks of pork belly. I had it in a baked egg frittata with spinach and tomatoes served and most likely cooked in a little iron skillet. Two thumbs up.
